I burned "n20071206s.142_b2988.dss-bas.generic.iso" to CD-ROM and booted off it, after connecting a CD-ROM drive. This allowed me to perform the update successfully. I am now running version 5.0.DB42000000.2988. I performed some intensive network and disk activity from multiple clients. Touch wood it's not crashed yet. If it does, I will post here again.

Thanks for the update Open-E.
